EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Scene of the Drama 'Oakinai Hiru-ga-Koshima'", captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese theater and its rich artistic heritage. Created by Torii Kiyonaga during the Edo period, this masterpiece showcases a captivating scene from a dramatic performance. Intriguingly, this image features actors in cross-dressing roles known as onnagata or oyama. The male performers skillfully transform into female characters, exemplifying their versatility and talent. Dressed in exquisite traditional costumes, they exude elegance and grace as they engage in a board game while holding fans delicately in hand. The attention to detail is remarkable; every color and brushstroke adds depth to the composition. The backdrop reveals a picturesque country setting with lush greenery that transports viewers to another time and place. Musical instruments such as samisen (shamisen) accompany these theatrical performances, enhancing the overall ambiance with melodious tunes. Kiyonaga's expertise shines through his mastery of ukiyo-e printing techniques. His use of ink and color on paper brings life to each character depicted within this artwork. Notably, one figure wields a samurai sword symbolizing both warfare and honor. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Japan's cultural legacy. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the complexity of traditional Japanese theater arts—a pastime cherished by many throughout
